Old Voice Cast vs. New Voice Cast
 
In your opinion which is better, the voice cast from the old cartoon or the voice cast from the new cartoon?

...really. Nothing better....

MzTheInsomniac 06-08-2003 02:07 PM

does it matter which cast is better?

Karpo_007 06-08-2003 03:00 PM

Hard to say since the characters only share name and mask color. Old voices were good for those characters[altough they didn't sound as good over time, especially Leo's voice changed] and new voices are good for these characters[took few eps for everyone to perfect the voices].

I agree with Karpo. If you listen to Raph's voice in episode 1, he gets WAY too deep. Mikey's isn't completely up to par either. But now, they are completely in the zone and I love it. As for which cast is better...I'll put it like this. I wouldn't trade any of the new actors for the old ones, or any of the old ones for the new ones. The combination of the 4 worked/work well together. But, I will add that if a live movie is done, the new voices won't work in my opinion. They're cartoon voices. Especially Mikey's (which, though, is my favorite in the new cartoon). If you examine Robbie Rist's Mikey in the first movie (and even in the 2nd and 3rd to an extent), it sounds completely 'natural' and not so cartooney. That's what they'll need to shoot for again.

Of course. Cartoon have diffrent type of voices than Live action. It just wouldn't work.

I dunno bout anyone else but april's voice is remarkably like the old one. :evilgrin:
But for shredder there can be no better voice for him then that of the original show, Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince of Bell Air. One other thing you may or may not know, the original voice of splinter is/was also the voice of Elmo of Sesame Street. :sick:

Yes, splinter from the movie is the same VA as elmo. What you may not know is the man who does it, (first name kevin...forget last name) is a seven foot (about) black man.

I can picture that for splinter.....NOT elmo!!! lol

BigThew 06-08-2003 09:25 PM

I always loved their voices from the original show more because they seemed to have some good personality, and the funniest witty remarks.

The Stryker 06-09-2003 12:36 AM

i like the new show's cast alittle bit better it fits the characters better

raph's voice was too high-pitched for me

and the new splinter also does pegasus from *shiver* yu-gi-oh

and the old cartoons shredder was perfect for the old show! it was menacing but it had that saturday morning mad scientist quality to it

the new shredder has the suave but evil type voice that you can see being used by a regular buisness man

but thats my outlook and im a idiot! stryker signing off! BAMF! *disppears*

JameO 06-09-2003 05:51 AM

They are both good. They fit each cartoon well. So I would say they are even.

tormentedvagrant 06-09-2003 06:49 AM

Yea I know about Kevin Clash, I actualy met him once!!!!! woot! But I have respect for him because look at all the wonderful things he has can do with his voice!

Not only that but Mikey's voice is also that of Joey wheeler from Yu Gi oh, and Lance from pokemon
Casey Jones did just about every male on Daria
April O'neil had been ALL OVER THE PLACE, Fighting Foodons - Clawdia,
Kirby - Fololo and Falala, Ultimate Muscle - Kid Muscle's Mom, the girl on cubix, Pokemon - Ash Ketchum and his mom and she even played a young battler in Yu GHi Oh, whom if I remeber corectly was named Paradice.
Raph is also the voice of terri Kanyon from Ultimat muscel
Splinter in addiction to Yu Gi Oh is also Minch from Ultimate muscel

Crazy

The Stryker 06-09-2003 09:38 AM

Jephael 06-09-2003 10:29 AM

I'm pretty sure that the guy playing Casey also does Kid Muscle's voice.

tormentedvagrant 06-09-2003 01:14 PM

DrSpengler 06-09-2003 01:45 PM
